BREMEN, Germany – Europe’s mobile adult affiliate program SexGoesMobile.com has added Webbilling payment pages optimized for mobile to its payment options for E.U. users.
The company says it supports more than 8,000 handset devices for delivery of video, live video chat services, a German dating program and now the addition of the direct-debit option.

“SexGoesMobile has long provided credit card billing along with SMS billing for 51 countries, so it makes perfect sense to add the Webbilling non-card-non-phone solutions just to ensure every possible join is realized from your traffic,” said Ines Petersen, Webbilling.com's global operations director.

The company said that it added Webbilling because many Smartphone users in Europe are browsing via a WiFi connection rather than 3G. These users cannot be billed on their mobile bill because WiFi is their priority connection at the browsing moment when they make the purchase decision.

These WiFi users are offered credit card services, but because of the traditionally low credit card penetration in Europe, SexGoesMobile is adding new options to convert best for their affiliates, the company said.

“With Webbilling.com we found the perfect alternative payment method to complement our existing mobile billing and credit card relationships,” SexGoesMobile CEO Christian Kreul said.

“We discovered that many phone users are using WiFi connections to browse the mobile Internet, so we are not able to charge them through a mobile billing mechanism. Up until now, we’ve offered these users only the credit card payment option, but not many users have them and many users in Europe are afraid to enter their credit card details on a mobile phone. As direct debit is the primary payment method especially in Germany, users feel more comfortable to use a payment method which they trust in their daily life."

Kreul added that after a two week trial, the company saw wide acceptance of the Webbilling option.

"This results in much more profit for our webmaster affiliates and collaborative partners," he said.
